Vintage Corvette Advertisements - Vette Vues Magazine

Category: Vintage Corvette Advertisements

Vintage Corvette Advertisements are an essential component of any Corvette’s history. The Chevrolet Company took a variety of forms to advertise the Corvettes in newspapers, magazines, and trade journals. These ads ranged from 4 x 5 postcards to full-page or double-page adverts in newspapers and magazines. There were also brochures, sheets, or cards prepared that were distributed directly to potential customers at dealerships as well as car shows and other events.

In this category, we feature Chevrolet Corvette ads that have been printed in magazines and newspapers over the years. We also look at some of the Corvette Sales Brochures and postcards.

“Rear Vues” is a monthly column in Vette Vues Magazine. In our column, we feature Vintage Corvette Advertisements that have been printed in magazines and newspapers over the years. We are featuring Ladd B. Chase’s extensive vintage magazine ad collection. Keep checking back as we continue to post up more of his Corvette ad collection.
